High scores table or hall of fame

[starwindz]

I was quite surprised of missing high score table in SE4. I cannot understand this.

Any comments?

Hey starwindz, you are right, and it never occurred to me...
This would be a definite superb addition to the game!

A table with: (thoughts anyone?)
Game Name:
Race:
Leader Name:
Year: (# turns)
Status: (Victory/Loss)

Shouldn't be too difficult...

Someone (ie not me) could even set up a website, so you can post your games files and have your scores added to a grand global scoreboard.

Yes, the reason is obvious. Even if you ignore the fact that that game can be easily modified, or setup a special scoreboard for every major mod, the conditions of game play are so wildly variable that comparing scores is meaningless. A game with 'Only colonize your own atmosphere' and 'Only colonize your own planet type' enabled is completely different than a game with all planets available. A game with stellar manipulations techs disabled is completely different than a game that allows them. There's no end to the possible variations. So, there's no reason for MM to try to build a "Hall of Fame" or other score tracking into the game. That only works for video games or other very narrow systems.

You are right, Baron. But I still want to see SCORES HISTORY.

You said that comparing scores is meaningless. That's right. But saving scores history is still good feature for SE4?
(NOT COMPARING, JUST ONLY HISTORY)
